Obama Less Than Two Months Ago: “The World Is Less Violent Than It Has Ever Been”…



More than 100K dead in Syria, civil war in Ukraine, and now genocide in Iraq.

June 12, 2014:

[T]he truth of the matter is that for all the challenges we face, all the problems that we have, if you had to be — if you had to choose any moment to be born in human history, not knowing what your position was going to be, who you were going to be, you’d choose this time. The world is less violent than it has ever been. It is healthier than it has ever been. It is more tolerant than it has ever been. It is better fed then it’s ever been. It is more educated than it’s ever been.

Ted,
The negative reaction to an ambassador getting killed means that Obama's foreign policy has failed?
No, Obama's OWN reaction to the Benghazi attack was horrible:

Message 29660105
Ted, Benghazi is another failure in Obama's foreign policy. Instead of reacting to it with a resolve toward security and justice, he reacted to it with incompetence and self-doubt.The blaming of a YouTube video itself might seem like an honest mistake, but in reality it took all of the focus away from what we should have done, which is to go after the terrorists responsible and beef up security at all of our other embassies.The impression that Obama conveys to the whole world, including America's allies and foes, is that he can't do a damned thing to defend America's interests.
